Memory as we approach a new horizon

Abstract

■ All memory continues to scale, increasingly difficult and complex ■ New DRAM architectures in work across all major application areas ■ Numerous very high bandwidth options with GDDR5X as highest BW/$ ■ HMC delivers unique advantages for ultra-high bandwidth applications ■ Emergence of Persistent Memory, first as DRAM+NAND NVDIMM - Evolving, enabling new and better products ■ 2016 production of first new memory technology in decades: 3D XPoint™ Memory ■ The future: blending the many existing and new memory types - Overall cost and performance tuned to the application
